anilsan,'Good post, I'm glad to get some others feedback on Pro & Options.

I have just started to dabble in options (mostly LEAPS), and would be interested in learning more about the pro or options service once they open again.

Like most, I have learned 100x times from being a premium fool that i did before i took the plunge. My first try was GG. I am not at GG, HG, SA and just won a years subscription to MDP.

So far, I like MDP, as having a model portfolio with guidance is nice. I was suprised to see how close my current portfolio is to their portfolio in terms of allocation and stock picks. They also have full access to many of the premium reports, and have a VERY nice "watch list" where they add and subtract stock picks from all fool services, then choose the ones they like most (just like I did for my own portfolio).

I'm not sure if I will buy into pro or options, as my portfolio is big but not so big that i can justify the cost to myself (or the mrs.). As it (hopefully) grows, im sure ill take the plunge.

I consider the costs to be very, very, very low fees for gaining an education in investing. Eventually, I'm sure I'll become a duke street member, as I'm fully addicted to fool.com.
